AUSTIN, TX—Visit Austin, Norwegian Air and Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) today announced Austin as one of two new U.S. routes from London Gatwick Airport.

“The new service from Gatwick Airport will provide opportunity for additional visitors connecting from throughout the world and from the U.K.,” said Tom Noonan, President and CEO of Visit Austin. “With year-over-year increases in visitors from the U.K. and beyond, we anticipate this flight will be very successful. ”
